Despite omitting a number of things (most notably the number of microphones), it's surprising to see the 65 Flex perform as well as the 75, especially with its lightweight and foldable form factor. In my opinion, the 65 Flex and 75 are pretty much on par.
Hi Hansoll! I share number and type of microphones at the 03:12 mark. And yes, the Evolve2 65 Flex performs very well for it's foldable, lightweight form factor! Thanks so much for watching and supporting our channel!
Hi Danny, all these tests were performed with the USB dongle, correct? My experience with the Jabra evolve 75 is that if you connect the headset using the dongle the background noise cancelling works much better, in fact I believe that with Bluetooth almost does not reduce any background noise. Did you have the same experience? Cheers,
Hi Santiago! Yes, I do my best to follow the manufacturers recommended setup. In this case, when using these Jabra Evolve2 series headsets with a computer, it's recommended you use the included USB dongle. The overall performance will be optimal especially when Jabra Direct software and headset/dongle firmware are up to date. And yes, that is my experience. There are multiple variables that can impact the performance when pairing directly with a laptop including differences in Bluetooth versions, and lack of required Bluetooth Profiles, and Remote Call Control capabilities.
I have two key questions on all these headsets. 1- What is the range of the Bluetooth? Currently, My current Jabra Pro 9470 headset (not BT) I can walk 25-30 ft away from my desk and maintain excellent quality. 2- Can the microphone be rotated so that it is used on the left side of the head.
Excellent questions! I'll make sure to include in future videos. 1. What is the range of the Bluetooth? Per Jabra specs, all three models support up to 30m/100ft range however, that's line of sight in open area. In a normal environment like a home office, I get 25-50ft. 2. Can the microphone be rotated so that it is used on the left side of the head? No. The microphone boom can only be used on the right side and can can not be changed. I hope this helps!

The Evolve2 65 sounds most natural to me and the Evolve2 65 Flex has the best background noise cancelation. As for the Evolve2 75, well, in my book - third place in both areas. Ironically, I can imagine that if the Evolve2 85 would be included too, it would score fourth in both.
AntonK, I almost included the Evolve2 85 however, I want to compare it with the new Poly Voyager Surround 80. They are more comparable wearing styles. I compared these because the Evolve2 65 Flex has the name name as Evolve2 65 except for the "Flex" and the 65 Flex has ANC like the Evolve2 75 that is on-ear style. Appreciate your feedback!
Great comparison of the headsets. I'd be interested in understanding how these headsets would perform in background noise against the Engage series - particularly Engage 75. Any thoughts on this?
Love the question, Morten! I will have to create a video or write a blog comparing the two. The biggest difference between the Evolve2 and Engage is the wireless operating frequency. The wireless Evolve2 versions use Bluetooth technology 2.4GHz while the wireless Engage series use DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) 1.9Ghz. The other key difference is the Engage 75 base is designed to provide connectivity to desk phones, computers, and mobile phones. The Evolve2 provides connectivity to a computer and mobile phone. Based on my tests, the Engage Mono and Stereo models provide better audio performance in terms of noise canceling and voice clarity but its better demonstrated via video versus me telling you. Thanks so much for watching, supporting our channel, and your great question!
I keep going back and fourth on what headset to get. My company will pay for it so money isn’t an issue but I still want the best performance. I will be in a zoom/ teams probably 2 hours a day in a noisy office but I also will use them to listen to music to focus on work. Which of these would you pick? Poly voyager focus 2 Poly free 60+ Jabra evolve2 75 Also love the content, it so much more insightful than the other headset review RUclips channels!
Thanks so much for watching and supporting our channel, Albert! I get to pick whatever headset I want and use a few headsets. However, my go-to for work from anywhere is the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex. Why? ✅ Very Lightweight and Comfortable (most comfortable UC Bluetooth headset I've tried to date) ✅ Very Good Noise Canceling Mic ✅ OK Active Noise Canceling (ANC) Speakers ✅ Certified and compatible with all leading UC platforms, including Microsoft Teams and Zoom ✅ Flexible Form Factor allows you to fold into a low profile carry case that makes it easy to transport in my backpack ✅ Long battery life (20hrs +) and supports Qi Wireless Charging like my iPhone These are my opinions based on my tests and personal preferences. The Poly Voyager Focus 2 is very popular with our team members, and many of them use it. The Poly Voyager Free 60+ has many great features and functions, but the mic transmit performance in noisy environments is not the best unless you use Noise Suppression from Zoom or Teams. I use the Poly Voyager Free 60 when editing or watching videos on my iPhone. They are also suitable for listening to music, podcasts, and audiobooks while walking my dog. The Evolve2 75 is ok. It is heavier than the original Evolve 75, and from my tests, the mic doesn't perform as well as the older Evolve 75 or Evolve2 65 Flex. The EPOS Impact 1000 Series has tested the best in every environment if you need a headset with a superior noise-canceling mic. But that's my personal opinion. Hope this helps.
Informative video, thank you! I am leaning towards the 65 Flex model, but can you tell me your opinion on which headset has the best ANC and Background noise combo? The background noise suppression is the most important but I seem to get easily thrown off if I can also hear my coworker sitting next to me on their call. So looking for something that has both, if that exists. Any model / recommendation is appreciated!
Hello! Thanks so much for watching! Active Noise Canceling (ANC) technology is designed to reduce certain types of background noise, primarily low-frequency, consistent sounds like the hum of an air conditioner, the rumble of an engine, or the drone of an HVAC system. It works by using microphones to detect external noise, then generating sound waves that are the exact opposite (anti-noise) to cancel it out. However, ANC is less effective at blocking higher-frequency, irregular sounds like human voices. This is because speech involves a wide range of frequencies that vary quickly in tone and volume, making it more challenging for ANC to counteract. While ANC can help reduce the overall noise level, it won't completely eliminate the sound of someone talking nearby. That's why, even with ANC headphones, voices can still be heard, though they may be less distracting. For better voice suppression, passive noise isolation, such as over-ear or in-ear designs that physically block sound, can help alongside ANC. I've tested headsets, earbuds and headphones with ANC speakers from Bose, Sony, Jabra, EPOS, Yealink, Logitech, Apple, HP Poly and more! NONE were able to block/suppress 100% of human voice. Now, when I am streaming audio at louder volumes, it seems like I can't hear anything in the background. You have to prioritize what is more critical, what YOU hear or what the people on the other end of the call hear. The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex is a great hybrid work headset because it's small form factor when folded makes it easy to transport between locations. The Jabra Evolve2 55 i feel has a better noise canceling (NC) mic. Of course the EPOS Impact 1000 series have the best performing NC mics (IMO) and the ANC is decent. It's no Bose or Sony. Headsets like the Jabra Evolve2 85, EPOS Adapt 660 and HP Poly Voyager 80 and 85 models due a better job with ANC but their microphones are not as strong as the others in really noisy environments. I hope this helps but ultimately, you decide what is most important. (Don't forget about comfort - Evolve2 65 Flex are super comfortable)
I have the Jabra Evolve2 65 and I find the padding very thin and not very comfortable. I can feel the hard plastic underneath. Are there any ear pad replacement options that are thicker memory foam/more comfortable? Why do these videos by headset sellers always fail to mention that Jabra headsets have an annoying audio fade in ‘feature’ that can’t be turned off? The headset audio goes to sleep if there is no incoming audio for a couple of seconds and takes a second to reconnect and fade in audio. This means that virtually every notification ping makes no sound through the headset. Jabra support says this is a ‘feature’ and doesn’t need fixing. Makes me want to throw this headset in the trash bin.
Hi Chris! Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback. Do you have the Evolve2 65 Flex or Evolve2 65? Comfort is so subjective. The Evolve2 65 Flex is the most comfortable dual-ear headset I've tested, but that's based on my preferences. And as for the annoying sleep feature, I'll try to include that. It's not just Jabra Headsets. All UC Bluetooth headsets across all brands do that, some more than others. I have to "wake up" the headset mics when filming these videos. I'll bring this back up to Jabra and the other manufacturers. Appreciate you watching and sharing this. We love feedback from actual end-users of these products.
@@CallOneInc Thanks for your reply! I have the Evolve2 65. Do you know if the 65 Flex ear pads are compatible with the older 65? I wonder if the padding is thicker and would help. The hard plastic underneath on the 65 digs into my ear cartilage and ends up being painful with extended use.
@@CallOneInc Wow, amazing response! Thanks so much. Unfortunate that there isn’t an upgraded replacement for the 65 ear pads. A 3rd party upgrade for this headset’s ear cushions would be an instant buy for me. Still looking for the perfect balance of comfort and function, might have to go back to wired. Does CallOne ship to Canada?
I’m not aware of 3rd party however, as an Authorized Jabra Reseller we only sell genuine parts from the partners we represent. We can ship JPL brand. Jabra has Authorized Resellers in Canada you can purchase from.
@@mohamedabdelrazek872 the only models I have tested are from Shokz. The noise canceling mic performs well. However, in noisy environments, it’s hard to hear since your ears aren’t covered.
Great video! I use the evolve 75 and often get complains that the other person has trouble hearing me in phonecalls, Teams etc. Is there a known issue and maybe a trick to correct it?
Hi The RUclips apprentice! Appreciate you watching and your question. I would like to understand your use case. What are you pairing/connecting the headset with/to? Mobile phone, computer? What voice/meeting platform are you using? e.g. mobile call, Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, etc. How long have you had it? Have you updated the Jabra Direct software and headset and dongle firmware?
The audio performance listening to music is very good. You can download Jabra Sound+ App and make adjustments to the Music Equalizer to your preferences. And yes, you can use as a Bluetooth or corded audio device with the included USB cable.
Thank you for doing this. I was looking into buying the Evolve2 65 flex or 75. But i think i will stick to my targe which is engage series. I have the Engage 50 already and it is great. I plan to give it to my sister and buy myself the engage 55 or 66😅
Hi jjoey mia! Happy I could help. The key difference between Evolve and Engage series is Bluetooth. The Evolve wireless series support Bluetooth while the wireless Engage series are DECT. Both are great options. Would love to know your use case! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
I'm still using the OG Evolve 75 and the microphone performance handily beats all of these. To me, all of the latest Jabra Evolve's sound like they have highly compressed the audio into a very narrow band, ostensibly for intelligibility, at the expense of sounding natural. I'm holding off on any new office headset purchase until someone has bluetooth LC3 and Super wideband built in. Jabra has super wideband in the Engage 50 (which I also have, and the difference is like a scratchy tape vs CD audio) but that is wired. Google just updated the Pixel Buds Pro (earbuds) to support super wideband. It is possible. It's going to take some major mic/call audio updates for me to shell out $250-$350 for a new high end office headset.
Hi Todd! The OG Jabra Evolve 75 was my favorite headset. And I have to agree with you. Based on real world tests, the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex performs well. A headset microphone I feel sounds the best in any environment is the EPOS Impact 1000 Series. You should check it out: ruclips.net/video/YaPuE5yDXyU/видео.html And here here is recent video where I test headsets including the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex and EPOS Impact 1060T. ruclips.net/video/ONBqWZM4UR0/видео.html I would love to get your feedback.
@@CallOneInc Just watched both videos. You are correct - this is the best bluetooth headset voice quality that I have ever heard. Not going to get this level of wireless voice quality until you get into professional stage audio equipment (several thousand $) Thanks for the tip. I just sent a message to the company, and maybe you know - does the headset only support bluetooth super wideband with the dongle or can ist support this directly with compatible devices? Do any of the current high-end phones (Pixel 7/8, IPhone 14/15) support bluetooth super wideband for voice calls and apps like Google Meet?
I have strong connections with a contact who provides Google Pixel phones. they shipped me a few samples to test. I received the Google Pixel 7a, 7, 7 Pro, Buds, and Watch! I'll ask them!
@@CallOneInc great- if you think about it please also ask them if with the big software update to the pixel buds pro in October, they are officially certified as Bluetooth 5.3 now.
@@ToddTownsend here’s the response from my Google contact: Hi Danny! Hope you are well. I can tell you that our flagship Pro model (the Pixel 8 Pro) does support Ultra Wide band. The Pixel 8 and 7 do not (but Google meet works fine on any Google Pixel device. I do not know whether the Apple devices you referenced support UWB or not.
I've been looking at the different comparisons of Jabra Evolve2 headsets. The tests seems to show that the 65 flex is better than the 75 for my use. Is that because 65 flex is a newer version? Will there be a release of a better and upgrades 75 version that I should wait for? I'm just thinking that the 75 should have been better than the 65 flex when it comes to the version numbering and number of noise cancellation options.
Hi Silje151! Thanks for watching! What is your use case? The Evolve2 65, Evolve2 65 Flex and Evolve2 75 are different. It's not really about "better." Headset users have varying preferences. Some may like a heavier-feeling headset and opt for the Evolve2 75. Some may not need ANC speakers and choose the Evolve2 65, while some may prefer a lighter-weight, easy-to-transport headset with ANC and select the Evolve2 65 Flex. Based on my conversations with Jabra, there isn't a newer version of the 75 coming. The Evovle2 75 was supposed to be an upgrade to the original Evolve 75. Regarding nomenclature, it's still a mystery how brands choose model/series names. Great question! Thanks for supporting our channel!
Thank you for the reply. It's for use in an office with several people sitting in the same room with some degree of phones and Teams meetings in close proximity. There is also noise from people talking in the hallways and coffee grinder noise from the kitchen. I'll use them when I need to concentrate or I'm on the phone/teams meeting. I have the Jabra Evolve 75 now, but it's not really ideal when there is a lot happening around me, and the Jabra Evolve2 85 will be too enclosed and sound proof for comfort.
I like the Evolve2 65 Flex. It has Hybrid ANC but I need to confirm with Jabra if it’s been improved compared with Evolve 75. Models that surround the ears will have better ANC. My next video will be filmed in an open office environment with people all around and I will include Evolve2 65 Flex. A model that is newer and not mentioned as much is the Jabra Evolve2 55. It has ANC and a decent mic. Ultimately, headset speaker audio performance is highly subjective based on the individual's hearing profile. The Jabra Evolve2 has 40mm speakers vs Evolve2 65 Flex has 28mm speakers. When using platforms and applications like Teams, the mic performance is improved with the use of any UC / Teams certified headset + platform noise suppression enabled. So it will come down to your personal preference.
Great question. What communications platform/s are you using? I've done tests using Zoom Personalized Audio Isolation and Teams Voice Isolation. When enabled, most professional grade headsets perform well. Here's a video of my wife and I side by side testing several headsets and Zoom personalized audio isolation. ruclips.net/video/ZWZ1WmShns8/видео.html
Hello, my dilemma is between evolve2 65 flex and evolve 75. The use case is - noisy environment, working from seaside, children running around. Need my colleagues not hearing all those noises. Which headset will you suggest?
Sorry, not certain how I missed this comment. I try and respond within 24-48hrs. I've been on a cross-country road trip from the Space Coast of Florida to Las Vegas, NV, for Infocomm 2024 and back. My wife, my dog Otis, and I got home last night. Based on my tests, the Jabra Evolve2 55 has a better-performing NC mic based on my tests. The other thing that helps is enabling Zoom Personalized audio isolation and Teams Voice Isolation if you use those platforms. If not, Google Meet and Webex also have noise suppression AI you can enable. Feel free to contact us if you are in the US. Mention our RUclips Channel for discounts!

Are you referring to headsets made for business and certified for UC and Microsoft Teams that have strong performing ANC speakers? The Bose 700 UC and EPOS Adapt 660 come to mind. These are examples of boomless mic headsets with speakers Circumaural ear cushions that cover your ears. There are also Circumaural style with a boom mic like the Jabra Evolve2 85 an then there are on ear options like the Poly Voyager Focus 2 and Yealink BH76 and then there are true wireless earbuds like the Logitech Zone True Wireless, Jabra Evolve2 Buds and Poly Voyager Free 60 that offer ANC speakers. Which wearing style do you prefer?
@@CallOneInc I’m looking for the type of Jabra 85 or poly voyager focus 2. The yealink BH 76 have a very competitive price but I’m not sure about their performance regarding ANC on ears.
Hi Miguel! The Jabra Evolve2 75 incorporates Jabra Advanced ANC™ using 4 of the device’s 8 while the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex uses Hybrid ANC. What's the difference? Check out this article from Jabra: www.jabra.com/blog/anc-headsets-arent-all-the-same-three-types-of-anc/
Hey man, i have an Avaya phone at work it uses a Jabra Biz 1200. I bought an adapter from rj9 to aux from jabra (GN1200 to 3,5mm). Will i be able to connect the apple wired headphones to it you think? If it doesnt what other options do i have to use to connect an avaya to a 3.5mm? I thought of the jabra 950 link somehow. Thank you so much for ur help.
Hi Erik, what Avaya phone model do you have? The challenge with 3.5mm has to do with the number of rings. This is a great video explaining: ruclips.net/video/U-VFa7MMcF0/видео.html Is your goal to use the Apple headphones for listen only or are you hoping you can receive and transmit audio?
Ah! Great question! I forget I need to include wireless range test. The answer is, it varies. If I am out in an open area with no obstructions between the headset and dongle, I can go fairly far. In my home office with furniture, walls, doors, major appliances, etc, I can go from 25ft - 60ft+. I'll probably film a wireless range test on the Evolve2 65 Flex. I'm fairly certain I've done wireless range tests for Evolve2 65 and 75. Thanks for watching and your question!
We have several headset mic test videos that include a crying baby. NO headset I've tested completely blocks our a crying baby. What voice, video or UC platform are you using? I have found that adjusting the audio setting in Zoom to Personalized Audio Isolation and in Teams, Voice isolation, combined with a headset with good noise canceling mic, it does a better job. I actually plan on filming a video in a daycare soon to test with and without those isolation settings in Zoom and Teams. So I ask again, which voice, video or UC platform/s are you using? Or are you paired directly to a mobile phone or using with a desk phone?
@@CallOneInc Thank you so much for taking your time and helping this mom. Please do , lots of mothers asking in most youtube comments but there is no real world baby related noise cancellation video . I am gonna do Krisp plus headset. It's for teams .

Headsets like the Jabra Evolve2 85, EPOS Adapt 660 and HP Poly Voyager 80 and 85 models due a better job with ANC but their microphones are not as strong as the others in really noisy environments.
I hope this helps but ultimately, you decide what is most important. (Don't forget about comfort - Evolve2 65 Flex are super comfortable)
@@CallOneInc wow thank you so much for the really great response! This is very helpful.
I have the Jabra Evolve2 65 and I find the padding very thin and not very comfortable. I can feel the hard plastic underneath. Are there any ear pad replacement options that are thicker memory foam/more comfortable?
Why do these videos by headset sellers always fail to mention that Jabra headsets have an annoying audio fade in ‘feature’ that can’t be turned off?
The headset audio goes to sleep if there is no incoming audio for a couple of seconds and takes a second to reconnect and fade in audio. This means that virtually every notification ping makes no sound through the headset.
Jabra support says this is a ‘feature’ and doesn’t need fixing. Makes me want to throw this headset in the trash bin.
Hi Chris! Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback. Do you have the Evolve2 65 Flex or Evolve2 65? Comfort is so subjective. The Evolve2 65 Flex is the most comfortable dual-ear headset I've tested, but that's based on my preferences. And as for the annoying sleep feature, I'll try to include that. It's not just Jabra Headsets. All UC Bluetooth headsets across all brands do that, some more than others. I have to "wake up" the headset mics when filming these videos. I'll bring this back up to Jabra and the other manufacturers. Appreciate you watching and sharing this. We love feedback from actual end-users of these products.
@@CallOneInc Thanks for your reply! I have the Evolve2 65.
Do you know if the 65 Flex ear pads are compatible with the older 65? I wonder if the padding is thicker and would help. The hard plastic underneath on the 65 digs into my ear cartilage and ends up being painful with extended use.
@@Chris-wu2hc Check out this video response! share.vidyard.com/watch/DWZqXKFfFHwJFNAUmHVQ25?
@@CallOneInc Wow, amazing response! Thanks so much.
Unfortunate that there isn’t an upgraded replacement for the 65 ear pads. A 3rd party upgrade for this headset’s ear cushions would be an instant buy for me.
Still looking for the perfect balance of comfort and function, might have to go back to wired. Does CallOne ship to Canada?
I’m not aware of 3rd party however, as an Authorized Jabra Reseller we only sell genuine parts from the partners we represent. We can ship JPL brand. Jabra has Authorized Resellers in Canada you can purchase from.
Great video! Thanks for the thorough review .. For me 65 Flex wins
What is the best conduction headphone for business & phone calls ?
Thank you for watching and sharing your feedback. We appreciate the support. Did you mean “bone conduction?” Or something else?
@@CallOneInc yes bone conduction headphones, the best one for business & phone calls
@@mohamedabdelrazek872 the only models I have tested are from Shokz. The noise canceling mic performs well. However, in noisy environments, it’s hard to hear since your ears aren’t covered.
Great video! I use the evolve 75 and often get complains that the other person has trouble hearing me in phonecalls, Teams etc. Is there a known issue and maybe a trick to correct it?
Hi The RUclips apprentice! Appreciate you watching and your question. I would like to understand your use case. What are you pairing/connecting the headset with/to? Mobile phone, computer? What voice/meeting platform are you using? e.g. mobile call, Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, etc. How long have you had it? Have you updated the Jabra Direct software and headset and dongle firmware?
How does the jabra evolve2 65 flex sound when listening to music? Also can you it wired as well as Bluetooth?
The audio performance listening to music is very good. You can download Jabra Sound+ App and make adjustments to the Music Equalizer to your preferences. And yes, you can use as a Bluetooth or corded audio device with the included USB cable.
Thank you for doing this. I was looking into buying the Evolve2 65 flex or 75. But i think i will stick to my targe which is engage series. I have the Engage 50 already and it is great. I plan to give it to my sister and buy myself the engage 55 or 66😅
Hi jjoey mia! Happy I could help. The key difference between Evolve and Engage series is Bluetooth. The Evolve wireless series support Bluetooth while the wireless Engage series are DECT. Both are great options. Would love to know your use case! Appreciate you watching and commenting!
I'm still using the OG Evolve 75 and the microphone performance handily beats all of these. To me, all of the latest Jabra Evolve's sound like they have highly compressed the audio into a very narrow band, ostensibly for intelligibility, at the expense of sounding natural.
I'm holding off on any new office headset purchase until someone has bluetooth LC3 and Super wideband built in. Jabra has super wideband in the Engage 50 (which I also have, and the difference is like a scratchy tape vs CD audio) but that is wired. Google just updated the Pixel Buds Pro (earbuds) to support super wideband. It is possible.
It's going to take some major mic/call audio updates for me to shell out $250-$350 for a new high end office headset.
Hi Todd! The OG Jabra Evolve 75 was my favorite headset. And I have to agree with you. Based on real world tests, the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex performs well. A headset microphone I feel sounds the best in any environment is the EPOS Impact 1000 Series. You should check it out: ruclips.net/video/YaPuE5yDXyU/видео.html
And here here is recent video where I test headsets including the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex and EPOS Impact 1060T. ruclips.net/video/ONBqWZM4UR0/видео.html
I would love to get your feedback.
@@CallOneInc Just watched both videos. You are correct - this is the best bluetooth headset voice quality that I have ever heard. Not going to get this level of wireless voice quality until you get into professional stage audio equipment (several thousand $) Thanks for the tip. I just sent a message to the company, and maybe you know - does the headset only support bluetooth super wideband with the dongle or can ist support this directly with compatible devices? Do any of the current high-end phones (Pixel 7/8, IPhone 14/15) support bluetooth super wideband for voice calls and apps like Google Meet?
I have strong connections with a contact who provides Google Pixel phones. they shipped me a few samples to test. I received the Google Pixel 7a, 7, 7 Pro, Buds, and Watch! I'll ask them!
@@CallOneInc great- if you think about it please also ask them if with the big software update to the pixel buds pro in October, they are officially certified as Bluetooth 5.3 now.
@@ToddTownsend here’s the response from my Google contact: Hi Danny!
Hope you are well. I can tell you that our flagship Pro model (the Pixel 8 Pro) does support Ultra Wide band. The Pixel 8 and 7 do not (but Google meet works fine on any Google Pixel device.
I do not know whether the Apple devices you referenced support UWB or not.
I've been looking at the different comparisons of Jabra Evolve2 headsets. The tests seems to show that the 65 flex is better than the 75 for my use. Is that because 65 flex is a newer version? Will there be a release of a better and upgrades 75 version that I should wait for? I'm just thinking that the 75 should have been better than the 65 flex when it comes to the version numbering and number of noise cancellation options.
Hi Silje151! Thanks for watching! What is your use case? The Evolve2 65, Evolve2 65 Flex and Evolve2 75 are different. It's not really about "better." Headset users have varying preferences. Some may like a heavier-feeling headset and opt for the Evolve2 75. Some may not need ANC speakers and choose the Evolve2 65, while some may prefer a lighter-weight, easy-to-transport headset with ANC and select the Evolve2 65 Flex. Based on my conversations with Jabra, there isn't a newer version of the 75 coming. The Evovle2 75 was supposed to be an upgrade to the original Evolve 75. Regarding nomenclature, it's still a mystery how brands choose model/series names. Great question! Thanks for supporting our channel!
Thank you for the reply. It's for use in an office with several people sitting in the same room with some degree of phones and Teams meetings in close proximity. There is also noise from people talking in the hallways and coffee grinder noise from the kitchen. I'll use them when I need to concentrate or I'm on the phone/teams meeting. I have the Jabra Evolve 75 now, but it's not really ideal when there is a lot happening around me, and the Jabra Evolve2 85 will be too enclosed and sound proof for comfort.
I like the Evolve2 65 Flex. It has Hybrid ANC but I need to confirm with Jabra if it’s been improved compared with Evolve 75. Models that surround the ears will have better ANC. My next video will be filmed in an open office environment with people all around and I will include Evolve2 65 Flex. A model that is newer and not mentioned as much is the Jabra Evolve2 55. It has ANC and a decent mic. Ultimately, headset speaker audio performance is highly subjective based on the individual's hearing profile. The Jabra Evolve2 has 40mm speakers vs Evolve2 65 Flex has 28mm speakers. When using platforms and applications like Teams, the mic performance is improved with the use of any UC / Teams certified headset + platform noise suppression enabled. So it will come down to your personal preference.
Which one do you think would work better when WFH with your partner also WFH next to you? Is any of those tests a good comparison? Thanks!
Great question. What communications platform/s are you using? I've done tests using Zoom Personalized Audio Isolation and Teams Voice Isolation. When enabled, most professional grade headsets perform well. Here's a video of my wife and I side by side testing several headsets and Zoom personalized audio isolation. ruclips.net/video/ZWZ1WmShns8/видео.html
Obviously the flex model is the winner
Thanks for sharing your feedback, MZM! Appreciate it!

Hello, my dilemma is between evolve2 65 flex and evolve 75. The use case is - noisy environment, working from seaside, children running around. Need my colleagues not hearing all those noises. Which headset will you suggest?
Sorry, not certain how I missed this comment. I try and respond within 24-48hrs. I've been on a cross-country road trip from the Space Coast of Florida to Las Vegas, NV, for Infocomm 2024 and back. My wife, my dog Otis, and I got home last night. Based on my tests, the Jabra Evolve2 55 has a better-performing NC mic based on my tests. The other thing that helps is enabling Zoom Personalized audio isolation and Teams Voice Isolation if you use those platforms. If not, Google Meet and Webex also have noise suppression AI you can enable. Feel free to contact us if you are in the US.

@@CallOneInc, yeah....no worries. Already got evolve2 65 flex...
And what is the best one regarding noise cancelling on the ears?
Are you referring to headsets made for business and certified for UC and Microsoft Teams that have strong performing ANC speakers? The Bose 700 UC and EPOS Adapt 660 come to mind. These are examples of boomless mic headsets with speakers Circumaural ear cushions that cover your ears. There are also Circumaural style with a boom mic like the Jabra Evolve2 85 an then there are on ear options like the Poly Voyager Focus 2 and Yealink BH76 and then there are true wireless earbuds like the Logitech Zone True Wireless, Jabra Evolve2 Buds and Poly Voyager Free 60 that offer ANC speakers. Which wearing style do you prefer?
@@CallOneInc I’m looking for the type of Jabra 85 or poly voyager focus 2. The yealink BH 76 have a very competitive price but I’m not sure about their performance regarding ANC on ears.
is weird how the flex seems to be better in terms of ANC than the evolve 2 75 which is more expensive
Hi Miguel! The Jabra Evolve2 75 incorporates Jabra Advanced ANC™ using 4 of the device’s 8 while the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex uses Hybrid ANC. What's the difference? Check out this article from Jabra: www.jabra.com/blog/anc-headsets-arent-all-the-same-three-types-of-anc/
Hey man, i have an Avaya phone at work it uses a Jabra Biz 1200. I bought an adapter from rj9 to aux from jabra (GN1200 to 3,5mm). Will i be able to connect the apple wired headphones to it you think? If it doesnt what other options do i have to use to connect an avaya to a 3.5mm? I thought of the jabra 950 link somehow. Thank you so much for ur help.
Hi Erik, what Avaya phone model do you have? The challenge with 3.5mm has to do with the number of rings. This is a great video explaining: ruclips.net/video/U-VFa7MMcF0/видео.html
Is your goal to use the Apple headphones for listen only or are you hoping you can receive and transmit audio?
@@CallOneInc i think its a 9640IP phone with RJ9 connector. Im trying to use it with a three ringed apple earpods.
@@CallOneInc ah yes mic and hearing, 3 rings. I bought a rj9 to aux. and a jabra gn1200 jabra to 3.5
but how far away can youb walk before you lose audio/voice?
Ah! Great question! I forget I need to include wireless range test. The answer is, it varies. If I am out in an open area with no obstructions between the headset and dongle, I can go fairly far. In my home office with furniture, walls, doors, major appliances, etc, I can go from 25ft - 60ft+. I'll probably film a wireless range test on the Evolve2 65 Flex. I'm fairly certain I've done wireless range tests for Evolve2 65 and 75. Thanks for watching and your question!
which is best for BABY CRY please help 😢😭 why no one focusing on baby noises ?
We have several headset mic test videos that include a crying baby. NO headset I've tested completely blocks our a crying baby. What voice, video or UC platform are you using? I have found that adjusting the audio setting in Zoom to Personalized Audio Isolation and in Teams, Voice isolation, combined with a headset with good noise canceling mic, it does a better job. I actually plan on filming a video in a daycare soon to test with and without those isolation settings in Zoom and Teams. So I ask again, which voice, video or UC platform/s are you using? Or are you paired directly to a mobile phone or using with a desk phone?
@@CallOneInc Thank you so much for taking your time and helping this mom. Please do , lots of mothers asking in most youtube comments but there is no real world baby related noise cancellation video .
I am gonna do Krisp plus headset. It's for teams . Most people obviously would be happy if you test with teams as it's the standard for most private n gov organizations. Could you also check by doubling Krisp? Thank you again much love

@@CallOneInc So I clicked on the links that were provided here and I was able to see the item but when I attempted to check out the item was no longer in the cart. So I try to search for the item and the result was " none found" , did a bit more digging and found out that if I am logged in no items were available, and when I logged out I could see the items, so basically I could not get anything because for some reason the items were disappearing right after I logged in. I will call in tomorrow as well.

65 (digital mic) handles droning/mechanical noises better
while performing worse on more natural background noises
I wonder when Jabra will make an attachable mic with all their technologies in it
Thanks for sharing your feedback! I'll ask if they have any plans for detachable mic. Appreciate you watching and supporting our channel!
